Malik Nabers revels in former LSU teammate Jayden Daniels’ Wild Card win

Just like old times.

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers and Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas supported Jayden Daniels at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Sunday for the Commanders QB’s first-career playoff win.

Nabers, Thomas and Daniels were teammates at LSU before all three were selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft and they each went on to set records in their rookie season.

Nabers and Thomas, whose teams did not make the playoffs, celebrated Washington’s 23-20 last-second victory over the Buccaneers from the stands of the NFC wild card game.

Daniels finished 24 of 35 for 268 pᴀssing yards and two touchdowns in his playoff debut. He added 36 rushing yards and two first downs. 

Nabers filmed his reaction in an Instagram Live video after Daniels drove the team down the field and kicker Zane Gonzalez cleared a 37-yard field goal to beat the Bucs.

Giants fans weren’t happy with his level of excitement.

“Roll em 5’s out!” said Nabers, who was wearing diamond grills in his mouth and black tinted sunglᴀsses.

Daniels posted a pH๏τo of the former college teammates together after the game and added an infinity emoji and a blue heart emoji.

Nabers re-shared it and wrote, “Big den football.”

The former Tigers were treated to a brilliant performance by Daniels during the Commanders’ final two drives, which gave them the lead.

He accounted for 61 of his team’s final 74 yards, completing all six pᴀss attempts for 57 yards and a touchdown.

It was the Commanders’ first playoff win since the 2005-06 season.

“It means a lot, man,” Daniels told reporters. “You could just see all the fans over here, man, they’re waiting for us. They’ve waited a long time for this moment and this feeling, so I’m just so happy for them.”

The Commanders (13-5) will face the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions (15-2) in the divisional round on Saturday.
